INFO ON RESEARCH PROJECT IN AUSTRALIA

[Guest guest]

Hello Gang,

I am going to participate in a research project at the request of my neuro.

It is not a therapy or treatment. I thought you might be interested. I will

have a skin and nasal mucosa biopsy. I will quote from the info I was

given:-

" Dr. Dominic Rowe and Dr Carolyn Sue are seeking patients diagnosed with

Motor Neurone Disease, to participate in research project for stem cells.

The purpose of the research is to look at whether we can grow cells from

patients with MND. "

" Title of Project:

Characterisation of the role of mitochondrial dysfunction in cell lines

derived from patients with ALS.

What is the purpose of the study?

The purpose of this study is to try to identify whether abnormalities in a

certain part of the

cell (called mitochondria) are involved in causing motor neurone disease.

The long-

term goal of our research is to discover ways to treat people with motor

neurone disease

based on modifying mitochondrial abnormalities in affected patients. "

Good to know of any research going on, I thought.

Love and good wishes to all,

Janet in Australia

Thanks for participating and good luck. I'm very anxious to hear the results

too.
